Save Time & Hassle

The criteria for assessing self-employed & contractor professionals in the UK property finance market can vary significantly from one lender to another. In most cases, you’ll be required to provide two years of accounts to demonstrate your income and qualify for a self-employed mortgage. However, exceptions do exist. 

We cater to diverse self-employed clients, from directors of well-established limited companies to individuals embarking on their freelance careers. Our experienced advisors invest the time to understand the financial circumstances of our self-employed property finance applicants. We often collaborate closely with our client’s accountants to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all essential financial information. This approach streamlines the approval process with our network of self-employed mortgage lenders, providing our clients with a smooth and efficient experience.

Our mortgage advisors emphasise our access to an extensive panel of lenders. This access enables our team to identify competitive mortgage products tailored to the needs of self-employed professionals. Our network encompasses conventional mortgage lenders and specialised and flexible lenders willing to support hardworking individuals like you.

What to expect

Financial Assessment

First, your advisor will examine your financial situation to determine what you need and can afford. This step is essential to determining your borrowing capacity. They’ll also advise you on the right insurance to safeguard your mortgage, such as life insurance, income protection, critical illness coverage, and building and contents insurance.

Mortgage Search

Next, your advisor will scour the market for the best mortgage deals tailored to your needs. With access to a vast range of lenders and even exclusive offers that aren’t available to the public, they’ll help you get the most value for your money.

Agreement in Principle

Once your advisor has a few options, they’ll go through them with you and, after finding the right fit, will do a credit check with the recommended lender. If all goes well, you’ll secure an Agreement in Principle, giving you a solid property search budget.

Offer Accepted

When you’re ready to proceed, your advisor will apply to the chosen lender with all the necessary paperwork. They’ll also provide you with a clear mortgage illustration, showing exactly what you’re signing up for.

Application Progression

During this phase, your advisor and their team will coordinate with the seller’s agent for the bank’s property valuation and keep you in the loop at every step. They’ll also handle any questions from the lender to ensure things stay on track.

Mortgage Offer

Once the offer is ready, your advisor will review it carefully to ensure it meets your expectations. You’ll receive a copy for your records, and a second copy will be sent to your solicitor.

Exchange of Contracts

At this stage, any insurance policies you’ve set up will go live, giving you peace of mind that everything is covered.

Completion

Congratulations! With contracts signed and everything finalized, it’s time to collect your keys and enjoy that hard-earned sense of relief—you’re officially a homeowner!
